Jurgen Klinsmann has made some changes to the United States Men’s National Team roster ahead of their friendly against New Zealand. After the team’s 2-0 win over Cuba on October 7th, they will return stateside to take on New Zealand in a tune up for their World Cup Qualifiers later this year. The USMNT manager called up five MLS players while dropping two others.
This is common practice and was expected from Klinsmann. He sent home the bigger names so that they could return to their clubs. Many of the European players like John Brooks, Christian Pulisic, Bobby Wood, Ethan Horvath, Fabian Johnson, Timmy Chandler and Geoff Cameron all returned to their domestic teams.
